I posted this on the other board. In case no one read it there, I thought I would include it here since it is very relevant to the thread.
from:
James Guthrie Soundbard Interview
The end of the article really stands out to me:
Mettler: Can you discuss any of your future hi-res/5.1 (re)mixing plans? Have you and Roger discussed doing other albums from his solo canon, such as [1984’s]
The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and [1987’s]
Radio K.A.O.S., or other Floyd material like [1977’s]
Animals?
Guthrie: I’m going to be starting a 5.1 mix of
The Wall soon — the original studio album, that is. And we have discussed
Animals. We haven’t talked about
Pros and Cons or
K.A.O.S., but you never know!
[This was in 2015, years after he first talked about "baking the tapes". I wonder if this is still a possibility?]
Mettler: Fingers crossed, then! Do you have a personal “dream” project or projects you’d love to sink your remixing teeth into, so to speak? When he and I were talking last year, Nick Mason told me he’d love to hear
Meddle and [1968’s]
A Saucerful of Secrets — and especially the song “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun” — get 5.1 mixes, as well as some of Pink Floyd’s earliest, Syd Barrett-era recordings.
Guthrie: In addition to
The Wall, I want to do
Animals and
The Final Cut. The very early work that was recorded on 4-track would be tricky, obviously, because there is less discrete information available, but I agree with Nick:
Meddle would be fun.
[Verrrrry interesting...]
maybe if we huff & puff and blow The Wall down, we'll see Animals in 5.1 rather than some piglets!
